  LibreOffice:
  What is expected to happen is when creates the attached file in MS Word with Hebrew characters, then performs at the Terminal:

  cd ~/Desktop && wget
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/667453/+attachment/1713423/+files/Hebrew%20document%20with%20formulas.doc
  && lowriter -nologo Hebrew\ document\ with\ formulas.doc

  it does not display �.

  Abiword:

  cd ~/Desktop && wget
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/667453/+attachment/1713423/+files/Hebrew%20document%20with%20formulas.doc
  && abiword Hebrew\ document\ with\ formulas.doc

  it does not display the square with 4 numbers in it.

  document\ with\ formulas.doc

  Microsoft Office Excel 2003 (11.5612.5606)
